Log files are a set of records that Linux maintains for the administrators to keep track of important events. Linux provides a centralized repository of log files that can be located under the  /var/log directory.

The log files generated in a Linux environment can typically be classified into four different categories:

• Application Logs
• Event Logs
• Service Logs
• System Logs
